Abstract
Across the continent, countries play host to many people from an assortment of ethnic, linguistic and religious backgrounds. However, increasing political, economic and social tensions worldwide have paralleled a global increase in the number of asylum seekers. With an increasing number of asylum seekers in a post-conflict context, Sri Lanka has increasingly been the subject of debate and speculation in recent months. Thus, the island nation provides a unique opportunity to explore the reasons that underlie the increase in individuals seeking asylum, and ensuing impacts these trends may bear on host nations. Interviews were conducted with several officials to identify reasons for this outflow of people and analyse policies currently in place to address the problem. A number of policy recommendations are provided to address the flow of asylum seekers from Sri Lanka.
